Lebron past his Prime/Peak? A thread from 2014

[STATUTORY]

You guys are terrible.

I bet if Lebron committed suicide you would all celebrate. Terrible people.

nah premature death would boost his legacy like kurt cobain

He would never shoot, too much pressure

[STATUTORY]

that is some dumb ass posting right there.

even if everyone benefit from HGH, lebron's game is disproportionately tailored to benefit from it. ppl can take the same drugs but have differential impact

[Im Still Ballin]

So what your saying is that Kobe was not athletic?

Somebody get this guy a manual!

[kennethgriffin]

why the hell would anyone care if lebron commited suicide

maybe if the league didnt veto that chris paul deal and the lakers werent shat out of the nba by david stern.

and if lebron stayed on the heat

then yeah. maybe lebrons death might help my team and fav player have an easier path to a title

but as of right now lebron being around has no significance to me

and even then... i'd rather ray allen die. since hes the one saving titles for that team

I wouldn't be surprised if he choked

You have a lack of skill if you're past your prime at 29.

U have athletic peak and just peak performance in general. Even if u aren't as fast or athletic as u once were, u can still be a freak athletic kind of player or close. And the greats keep adding to their game to cover up their decline in athletic ability. Bron has CONSISTENTLY added to his game year after year. He's the most versatile player of all time as well. So worst case scenario, he becomes mainly a PF late in his career (like Bird and Magic) AND STILL dominates a game through all around ability. U know getting lines of 20 pts, 8 boards, and 8 assists a night. That's still sick shit!

But as of now, I say Bron is at the peak of his career no doubt. And even once u are outta your peak, that DOESN'T mean u are outta your prime. U have the beginning of your prime, then u peak, then u have your backend prime on the way down from the mountain. Some guys make FALL OFF and don't really have a backend prime. Other guys age great and PIMP STROLL down the mountain!!

He's certainly past his athletic peak. He might still be in his career prime, depending on how you define it.

He's starting to look more athletic than he did at the beginning of the season, and it's not the first time he's suffered from training camp legs, so some of the talk of his athletic decline might be blown out of proportion.

[J Shuttlesworth]

way too early in the season to tell. I remember LeBron having some back issues last year, but when he's 100%, he was still athletic as hell. It's possible though.

By January, we should have a more accurate perspective on his health/athleticism. It's only been what... 10 games?

In a couple of games, we've seen him look very athletic, but others not so much.

He's putting up about 26/6/7 so if that is "declined" than he must be GOAT

LeBrons downfall is gonna be swift and harsh. Rough times for Bran fans.
